Community Partnerships

Juhl Energy is an established leader in the clean and renewable-energy industry and provides a full range of clean energy solutions with a focus on wind, solar, hybrid, and cogeneration systems such as CHP.

Community History

Juhl Energy has historically focused on community wind power development, management, and ownership throughout the United States. Juhl Energy is one of the few companies, other than utility-based conglomerates, that handles all aspects of project development, through its operating subsidiaries, including full project development and asset ownership, general consultation and engineering, construction management, and system operations and maintenance.

Community Focus

The primary focus of Juhl Energy’s power development business has been to build 5 MW to 20 MW projects jointly owned by local communities, farm owners, environmentally-concerned investors, and Juhl Energy. The projects are connected to the general utility electric grid to produce clean, environmentally-sound power. Juhl Energy’s development of community power systems generally results in landowners and local businesses owning a portion of the long-term equity in the project that resides on their land.

Community Development

Juhl Energy pioneered community wind power systems in developing the currently accepted financial, operational and legal structure providing local ownership of medium to large scale wind farms. Since 1999, Juhl Energy and predecessor companies have completed 25 wind farm projects, accounting for approximately 358 MW of wind power (approximately $600 million in value) that currently operate in the Midwest region of the United States.
